[FR]: Append comments feed to end of main feed.
Brief description of the feature request
Wesites with RSS feeds most often also provide a Comments rss feed in addition to the main feed. The enhancement is to provide the Comments feed in a separate ta or appended after the article.
Note: Comments are often more interesting than the main feed!
Thanks for rssguard.
@martinrotter, As I understand, this is about fetching comments from the web pages of actual articles, instead of RSS feed articles.
This can be done by displaying web pages in article previewer. (https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/pull/588)

grep rss

In my current RSS app, this shows as follows:
Provide exactl URL of your feed file and also provide exact article within the feed I should look to see "the" behavior, pls.
OK, I found feed URL and checked it.
There is article called
New National Record Low Set In China; All Korean Stations Fall Below Zero; Heathrow’s Coldest Jan Temp Since 1987–With UK National Grid “Rewarding” Brits For Switching Off Power; + Cold Records Fall Across U.S.–As “Piercing” Arctic Outbreak Looms
The feed article is displayed correctly but feed source XML contains extra data:
<wfw:commentRss>
https://electroverse.co/china-all-korea-zero-heathrow-national-grid-power-cuts-cold-records-fall-us-more/feed/
</wfw:commentRss>
This seems to be some kind of RSS extension.

This is not yet supported by RSS Guard. Which other RSS readers support this? Which other feeds use that extension? It seems like pretty non-standard extension as I did not really find any useful documentation on it anyway.
Currently using Liferea. https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/releases Rssguard seems to have more features and is more active. I find almost all websites are providing a comments feed along with the main feed.

almost all?
okay, can you post some feeds which do provide "comment feed" linked in main feed via the above RSS or other extension?
No more examples provided, no more examples of this being supported by more other clients provided. Closing. Feel free to re-open.
Hi Martin, i reopen this topic as i have the issue currently and i'm unable to do without access to the fields comments on some feeds. I use quiterss but also checkedout Vivaldi's feed reader and thunderbird which support comments well. I would prefer ditching quiterss which is now unmaintened but still working. the source code is accessible at https://github.com/QuiteRSS/quiterss
My context : i use jackett and many feeds are giving the url link to the source page through the comment.
Can anyone provide any working real-world feed which uses this, so that I have bigger sample size for testing?
I will polish a feature bit more, make it switchable and then close this.
its done, fully switchable in feed settings, supports ATOM and RSS article comments
Hi Martin,
I tried the new feature on rssguard-devbuild5-7875f99ae-qt6-linux64.AppImage but couldnt get the comments to appear nor could i find the relevant options in the settings ? it surely is a me problem but coud you be so kind as to point me to the correction option to enable in the settings ? Thanks in advance,
Note that this feature only works for feeds which do actually provide "commentRss" information. If in doubt, provide feed URL and I awill test.
